About
Infection Control in Long-Term Care Facilities
Programme Introduction
About this programme
Infection Control in Long-Term Care Facilities focuses on preventing and managing infections in residential and long-term care settings, where elderly and chronically ill patients are particularly vulnerable. Residents often have multiple comorbidities, prolonged stays, and frequent interactions with healthcare staff, increasing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Long-term care facilities serve an older, more vulnerable population in a residential setting — creating a complex IPC environment where prevention must coexist with quality of life and personalised care.
This programme covers IPC tailored to long-term care — covering surveillance, outbreak management, antimicrobial stewardship, and the staff training that anchors safe long-term care practice.
🛡 Built for safer care. Structured, evidence-based, and mapped to global IPC standards — designed to translate directly into stronger patient and staff safety.
